The Two Babies in the Hospital

Another painful story comes from
Paris. Two children in hospital, it is
said, were mistaken for each other, one
child which died being buried by the
wrong parents and the surviving one
being offered to a mother who found it
was not her own. The children were
suffering from Scarlatina, and no visitors
were allowed to see them. Nine. Duha-
mel, concierge, Senther boy, four years
old, to the hospital, and after two
months h ad noticed that he was conva-
lescent, and might be taken home. She
sent neighbOr, who, however, did not
recognize the child and declined to take
him. Three days later nurse took the
child to Nine. Duhamel, but there was
mutual absence of recognition. Ulti-
mately the hospital authorities admitted
that the tickets must have been mis-
placed, and that Nine. DuhamePS child
had died twelve days after admission.
Meanwhile the other parents, named
Molera, believed their child to be dead,
had borne the expense of the funeral.
The two children, who were of the same
age, but differed in color of the eyes and
hair, at first occupied adjoin-
ing beds. After some days the
doctor ordered both to be trans
ferred to another ward. The nurse who
transferred them placed the ticket of
one child on the others bed-head.
When, therefore. the Duhamel child
died, notice was sent to NJ. MOlera, the
father of the other child, and he saw the
corpse. He now states that he failed to
identify it, but it does not appear that
he then expressed any doubts. When
informed seven weeks later that his
child was possibly still alive, and asked
whether he could identify it by any
mark, he stated that there was mole
spot on the back. There was, however.
no need for any external sign, for on his
going to the hospital the child sprang
into his arms. The nurse who misplaced
the tickets has been dismissed.

In the Haddock murder trial at Sioux
City, the State made a strategetic move by
closing its testimony Thursday morning to
oblige the defense to show it's hand and out
line its plan of action, holding in reserve a
number of witnesses for rebrttal uses. The
testimony put in by the State goes to show
that Arensdorf was present when the muir
der occurred, and he was even a leader of
the mob and a principal conspirator. In
addition to Leavitt, the witness "Bismarck,'
says positively that A%rensdorf FREQ the fatal
shot. The State has aimed to turn tie circum-
stantial evidence that has existed against
Leavitt, against Arensdorf by showing that
the latter wore suco clothing as Leavitt was
supposed to AVE worn that night. Il was
further shown that Arensdorf paid all the
money to get Bismarck out of the city,
which he would not lave done had some
one else been the murderer. Several wit
nesses were called by the defense on Thurs
day. their testimony being intended to
break the force of Bismarck's statements.

Theatrical Snow.

Paris Letter: I lately learned some
curious facts respecting stage now as
used in the Paris theatres. Formerly
the head property-man of each theatre
caused his subordinates to manufacture
it by cutting white paper into, little
bits, but of late years the paper-makers
have supplied it in large sacks, and
cut up fine by a mechanical chopper.
The nov thus prepared is so con-
densed that it has to be crumbled be-
tween the fingers before it can be
used. Of late the theatres that are
Illuminated by the electric light have
given up the use of paper snow, as
the particles as they descend are at
tracted by the flame and might catch
fire: moreover, under the intense white
heat it was scarcely visible and pro-
duced no effect. Various substitutes
for paper have been tried. Whalebone
shavings did pretty we'll and not eS-
pensive, costing only so cents a sack.
But the best OF all possible limitations
of snow is found to be the scraps and
clippings of kid, left over from cutting
out gloves. They float in the air. de-
scending with very realistic slowness,
and they cling visibly to the garments
of the actors. These clippings are
furnished to the Grand Opera by
several of the leading glove houses 0
Paris, and cost 50 a sack.

For some months, Mrs. Cameron, wife of
Ex-senator Angus Cameron, of La Crosse,
has been in in-health, at times, delirious.
Her ill-health, which is of an acute ner-
vous character, dates back nearly three
years, when she was hurt in a ferry boat
collision on East river, the touching of the
two boats throwing her heavily upon her
spine over one of the seats. Upon Thursday
evening, 3lst ult., when a delirious paroxysm
must have seized upon her, she eluded her
nurse, dressed, threw a shawl over her
head and went to the Pearl street levee of
the Mississippi river and walked out into
the water. Two men observing the strange
movement rescued her and took her to the
International hotel, where her identity was
discovered. Medical aid was summoned
and in half an hour she was able to talk.
